Summary Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity in rat plasma was stable for up to 56 days when stored at −25°. High activity plasma samples were less stable. ALT activity was markedly unstable when derived from isolated hepatocyte preparations, and declined to 8‐16% of initial values after 28‐56 days storage at −25°.
